Had fun with it, but couldn't take out of my head how this game was not well made and felt unfinished. Later on I found out that the game WAS unfinished and the dev moved on to other projects, so it all made sense.
A lot of things feel... cheap and poorly made. The game is completely unbalanced and fails to guide you on what to do and how to play it. In my experience, I didn't knew light houses were broken until after finishing the game, for example. So, because of that, the entirety of my mid-game dragged on for way longer than it should and progression felt terrible. The fact that the game is abandoned also impacts in the lack of a complete wiki for it, so a lot of things are left unexplained unless you wanna dig out reddit posts and youtube videos.
I had a blast with forager playing more than 30 hours in less than a week, but I would have a greater time playing Factorio instead.
